From finding the right creator to measuring results six services that cover the full influencer campaign lifecycle.
Influencer Identification & Vetting
Data-driven search across SA’s influencer landscape using platform analytics and third-party verification tools. Every candidate is vetted for audience authenticity, engagement quality, brand alignment, and demographic fit before you see a shortlist. We cross-check follower credibility to eliminate bot-inflated accounts that waste your budget. Suitable for brands in any category, fashion, food, finance, tech, and everything in between. Deliverables include a scored shortlist with audience breakdown and recommended collaboration type, see full pricing.
See packagesCampaign Briefing & Negotiation
Professional campaign briefs that protect your brand while giving influencers the creative freedom they need to produce authentic, high-performing content. We negotiate fees, deliverable scope, posting schedules, and usage rights on your behalf so you never overpay or under-specify. Each brief includes visual references, key messages, mandatory disclosures, and platform-specific formatting requirements. Turnaround is typically 3-5 business days from strategy sign-off to confirmed influencer agreements. Ideal for brands running their first influencer campaign or scaling an existing programme. From R8,500/campaign, see full pricing.
See packagesMicro-Influencer Campaigns
Micro-influencers (1,000-50,000 followers) consistently achieve 5-15% engagement rates and command highly trusted niche audiences that act on recommendations. We source, brief, and manage a curated group of micro-creators across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube tailored to your category. Campaigns typically run 4-6 weeks and deliver authentic UGC you can repurpose across paid ads and owned channels. Micro-influencer campaigns deliver better cost-per-engagement and ROI than macro campaigns for most South African brands. Deliverables include managed creator relationships, content approval, posting confirmation, and a full performance report. From R8,500/campaign, see full pricing.
See packagesMacro & Multi-Tier Campaigns
Large-scale influencer campaigns that combine macro creators (50,000-500,000 followers) for broad reach with micro-influencers for engagement depth and community trust. We architect the tier strategy, manage all creator relationships, and coordinate posting schedules for maximum campaign impact. Ideal for product launches, seasonal campaigns, brand repositioning, and national awareness drives that need to move fast and land big. Typical campaigns run 6-8 weeks with staggered launch, peak, and sustain phases. Deliverables include full talent management, content approval, multi-channel coordination, and a detailed post-campaign analytics report. From R18,500/campaign, see full pricing.
See packagesContent Approval & Compliance
Every piece of influencer content is reviewed and approved by our team before it goes live, ensuring full alignment with your brand guidelines and tone. We manage ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) disclosure requirements and platform-specific compliance rules so you’re never exposed to regulatory risk. Our approval workflow catches off-brand messaging, prohibited claims, and missing disclosures before they reach your audience. Turnaround on content review is 24-48 hours, with a structured revision round if the influencer needs to adjust. This service is included in all campaign packages and protects both your brand reputation and legal standing, see full pricing.
See packagesPerformance Reporting
Real-time campaign dashboards tracking reach, impressions, engagement rate, link clicks, story views, and conversion events across every creator and platform. Mid-campaign alerts flag underperforming creators early so we can optimise before the budget runs out. Post-campaign you receive a full report including key learnings, cost-per-result benchmarks, creator performance rankings, and strategic recommendations for your next campaign. Reporting is delivered within 5 business days of campaign close in a shareable format suitable for internal stakeholders. This service is included in all campaign packages, see full pricing.

Frequently asked questions
How does Juicy Designs find the right influencers for my brand?
We use data tools to identify and vet influencers across SA’s social ecosystem analysing audience demographics, engagement authenticity, follower quality, and brand alignment before recommending anyone. You approve the shortlist before we contact anyone.
What platforms do your influencer campaigns cover?
We run campaigns across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and blogging platforms selecting the right mix based on your target audience, budget, and campaign objectives.
How do you track influencer campaign results?
Every campaign includes real-time performance reporting reach, impressions, engagement, link clicks, and conversions where trackable. We measure against agreed KPIs and deliver a full post-campaign report with learnings.
Do influencers have creative control over the content?
Yes. Influencers retain creative control authentic content outperforms scripted posts by a wide margin. We provide clear brand briefs and product guidance, then review all content before publication to ensure it meets your standards. If you want creator-made assets you own and run as your own paid ads rather than influencer posts, see our UGC service, plus Website UGC for on-site conversion and Social Commerce for TikTok Shop selling.
What is the difference between micro and macro influencers?
Micro-influencers (5k-50k followers) typically have higher engagement rates and stronger trust with their niche audience. Macro-influencers (100k+) deliver larger reach. Most effective campaigns combine both tiers for reach and depth.
Do influencer fees come out of the management fee?
No. Influencer fees are separate from our management fee. We negotiate rates on your behalf and present them for approval before any commitment. Our management fee covers identification, briefing, coordination, compliance, and reporting.
How long does a typical influencer campaign take?
From brief to live content is typically 3-4 weeks: one week for influencer identification and approval, one week for briefing and content creation, and one to two weeks for posting across agreed dates.
How much does influencer marketing cost in South Africa?
Influencer costs in South Africa vary widely by follower size, engagement, and content type, from a few hundred rand for a nano-creator to significant fees for macro-influencers. We work to your budget, favouring creators with real engagement and audience fit over raw reach, and manage the whole campaign.
Are influencers worth it for a small business?
They can be, when the creator genuinely fits your audience and the campaign is measured against real outcomes rather than likes. A few well-chosen local micro-influencers often outperform one expensive name. We tie the work to results and keep it within a sensible budget.
What is UGC and why do brands use it in paid ads?
UGC is user- or creator-generated content that looks authentic rather than polished. Brands run it as paid ads because native-feeling content often outperforms glossy studio ads on social. We produce UGC built specifically to run as ads.
What is a whitelisting or creator licensing agreement?
Whitelisting lets you run ads through a creator's own handle; licensing gives you rights to reuse their content in your ads. Both need a written agreement. We handle the contracting so usage rights are clear from the start.
Is gifting products instead of paying influencers acceptable?
For nano and micro creators, gifting can work, especially with genuine fans, but larger creators expect payment. Set expectations up front and disclose the partnership. We match the approach to the creator tier and your budget.
